I will just say, I went with a Yamaha RX-V2300 for my set-up. I had a Denon, but it would not handle 4 ohm loads (which you must watch), and the QS8's are. Power wise its killer, and its options are very good. I picked it over Marantz at the time. If your looking for a music reciever I would say consider the Marantz, but for Home Theater, which I use mine for 95% of the time, it was the way to go. The Marantz and Denon did not have as many hook-ups in the rear either. I am a all fiber optic/Component video guy for everything possible! lol Yamaha was able to suport me. Have fun!! The search is half the fun!
Ohh Might add my system for comparison! lol
M22ti's front, VP150 Center, QS8's Suround, M2i sixth Channel, and EP175 Sub
